    Building the Perfect Reloading Room

    Got a lot of great ideas from the thread. Need some help though- working on a new reloading area in the house. I installed four 36" cabinets and another 12" on the end for support. Got four 6' butcher block counter tops. So far I've got about 90% of the area done, but trying to figure out the...

    Powder Info

    I think you are on the right track. Some rifles will prefer certain powders but overall (the ones I know) the H4350 works great for most with the 140+ gr bullets. For the 280 either would work well (the "sc" is just the Short Cut version so the little rods are a bit smaller and meters better...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    I'm setting up for 300. I've got a 247gr NOE mold that I can powder coat. I reload 45LC and actually have a bunch of new Starline 45 Schofield cases for cowboy loads that would be fun and shouldn't be too hard to find a heavy mold. Currently have a 22lr that I will probably get threaded, a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    so lets say you were going to buy a contender barrel specifically to run subs with a can. What caliber would you go with? I have a 45 pistol can and a 30 cal rifle can, but will probably pick up a Dead Air Primal in the near future.. 38 special? 300 BO? 8.6CM? 44 special? 22lr? I have a...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Thompson Contender

    glad to see this bumped again... some good looking contenders anyone know of good sources for threaded barrels for the contender? Now that I have some cans I can't resist something like my 22lr or a 44 special barrel with some 300gr bullets subsonic.. A while ago I read (silencertalk?) about...

    Gunsmithing I need help choosing BEST 300 Blackout in 10.5

    I bought a Mos-tek 7” barrel recently. Haven’t finished the build yet but my main reason for looking at Mos-tek was the 1:5 twist rate. I really only plan to shoot heavy subs with it so wanted the faster twist. I’ll have to test some Maker bullets at super velocities and see how that works...

    Bergara B14R questions

    I understand the weight thing. I finally built up a longer range rifle for myself (M24 contour, ACC chassis, Vortex optic, all heavy stuff) but had wondered why I saw everyone running the steel B14's. I'll see if I can swing it in the next week or so, for her starting out maybe throw it in a...

    Bergara B14R questions

    Didn't want to start a new thread but from my reading I've noticed almost everyone is getting the steel barrel version instead of the carbon. Been looking at a B14R for my daughter to start to shoot a bit more and found a deal on a carbon locally, but if the steel is better for whatever...

    Sidearms & Scatterguns Apex trigger for fn509??

    The apex is a big improvement. BUT be careful with mixing and matching parts (like other brand springs and such) as I've heard that they play well with other parts..

    I didn't know I could buy ammo direct from CCI...

    I have bought from them a few times. Last time I ordered a brick of Quiet (what I really needed) and a brick of Standard. Ordered both so it was over $100 and free shipping and both showed in stock. Of course I received a brick of Standard a few weeks later. Had to email to find out the quiet...

    Federal Auto Match, how bad it can be?

    Nice to hear. I can find it every so often at my local walmart. After the last 22lr supply issues a few years ago I would buy a brick or two every trip (325 rounds in a box), so have a decent amount on hand. Working on getting new rings for a Ruger and will probably build some sort of 22lr bolt...

    Nucleus Build Pictures

    Finally got things here and working on getting the scope mounted. Right in the middle of a house move so it will be a few weeks before I get to try her out. I decided to take my time and get the parts I wanted (as I could afford them!) so it’s been a long project for me. Bought a Nucleus gen 1...
